Glad you got it figured out! Girls are looking great. I like to get nice and spacey bongsmilie when I water. It helps me zone out for a good time and let the girls soak up the water haha.
Best of luck!
Former power company worker in the US here. Worked on the customer service side. I can tell you a few things from my experience 5+ years. My power company and I'm sure almost all of them don't care what you're using and how much. They just want your money plain and simple.
Stealing from them...
Just my two cents. First grow. No expert here but my plant did something similar in a 3 gal smartpot. At about the half gallon mark now I get runoff. I let it sit for a few minutes and it gets soaked back up. Then I go back to watering it. I have to do that a couple times and then when I get...
The lower proof has more water in it and who knows what else. Less to bind to. Also then trying to evaporate away all that other stuff after you extract is a nightmare. It would only be worth it, IMO, to do the EC or KX if that's the route you go. Stay away from ISO extractions.
At least...
Oh that's awesome all 3 of us are in the same boat with similar lights and grow sizes.
I germ'd on 7/9. She grew slow because I had to leave just the blue spectrum on and had a N deficiency. Trucking along now since transplant and recently had to toss some DIY CO2 yeast in there. Finally got...
Haha thanks. I'm glad you are going to be looking into getting a COB soon. Will definitely have to keep us updated!
My space is limited right now but the current tent I have will be turned into a little veg/mother tent and I will have a big flower room with a nice COB setup:hump::hump:
I wasn't taking a dig at HPS by any means. I am sure I will have my own someday for fun to learn more about this art.
I also mentioned I thought heat wouldn't be an issue with my light. I was wrong. My tent gets into the 80's (as high as 88 sometimes) but obviously there's other grow specific...
This is a great thread! Keep it up. I have the Viparspectra Par 600 myself. First grow still in veg. Also plan to upgrade to cobs and use the Vipar for vegging. Good luck!
As a side note, I read this and that's what made me want chime into this thread. I purchased my light for 3 reasons:
1.)...
I appreciate that. Getting all of this direct feedback and input is invaluable to me. I am usually more of a behind the scenes reader but I can say with my positive experiences on here that I can see myself hanging around and involving myself in discussions more often.
Another question just for...
Thank you all for the direction and guidance. I have to admit it can feel overwhelming at times being new but being able to lean on others makes me much more confident with each passing day haha.
I was just going to ask for clarification on the amount of epsom per gallon. Thank you!
Want to chime my 2 cents in before you go that route. If Everclear is not available by you look into KleenXtract (Not a plug for them.) This is their site http://www.culinarysolvent.com/
You can get up to 200 proof food grade ethanol (same thing as EverClear, except this is stronger*) their...
You're welcome! I always keep links of informative shit I run across. I forget way too easily bongsmilie haha.
I even have to keep memos/post-its around.
Just my 2 cents when I was searching for Fox Farms soil in my area. I used their locator on their site:
https://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/frontpage/locations-retailers.html
Instead of doing zip code and radius, I had better luck doing a whole state search and found soil close enough by and worth...
This is great info. I have been trying to figure out how much water the swamp coolers go through. As well as their impact on RH and temps (in your previous post)
If I made a homemade one I was going to do a small 1 gallon ice cream bucket version. I was trying to figure out how to have a like a...
